So sorry about that downtime, our VM was unexpectedly shut down. Everything should be up and federation will level out soon.

Again so sorry. I'm going to set up an uptime and status page on a different server so I can communicate if things go sideways again.

You're not doing anything wrong in my opinion. Some of us just don't get an endorphin boost from exercise.

I'm a marathon runner and I have never experienced a runner's high or whatever these other people get from normal training.

There's this chart about "types of fun" that finally made it click for me. Some people find the mundane training as "Type I" fun. Some of us have activities that are this and others that aren't fun in the moment. For me, skiing is type I. Running is not.

I run as a discipline, it feels good looking back on my calendar of training and seeing the work I've put in. So I get Type II fun from it. I like to say "I run for the medals" and that's mostly this concept. I don't run for the fun, I train for the PR or the "win" or a medal. It's seeing my work pay off, my discipline for months on end being paid out.

So it's not the running, it's achieving the hard goal I set. Anyway, I hope this makes you feel seen. It's really frustrating to see all the hype about endorphins or whatever being a mood booster, but that's not the reality for a lot of people.

Also good job on the consistency for a year! That's impressive! Especially without the mood boost other people get!!

 

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the delay in the application process, I was out of town and very behind. I just approved a bunch of new users today and over the last few months.

If anyone wants to introduce themselves, ask for recommendations, get help, etc feel free to reply. I would love to hear more about the people in our little community here!

Enjoy!

We have updated to lemmy v0.19.10, you can read the release notes here.

Small release, except one notable "fix/feature" is the removal of PMs when a ban happens... I think we all know who that is for...

Enjoy! Feel free to PM if you have any issues at all with the instance. I know I'm a lurker, but I am trying my best to keep the instance humming along.

 

This might be the end of Libby/Hoopla/Boundless for a lot of smaller library systems. :(

 

I just finished reading Roadside Picnic for the first time and came across this blog post that I wholeheartedly agree with. Obviously the title is a little bold, but the body lays out a really strong argument for the beauty of this novel.

 

I'm very interested in seeing this story translated to a screen and wow the art work shown off here is incredible.

Hey! :)

I'll go ahead and add you as a mod here as well now!

Welcome!

I agree with this, I thought it was fun to watch but man the quality drop off after the first few episodes was rough!

[–] Arthur 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm totally fine with that if MaelGuerra is up for the transition!

Youtube apparently.

I use Syncthing to sync my Obsidian notes to my phone and vice versa. On an iPad I use Mobius Sync which is a paid version for iOS. Not as ideal as free on Android, but it gets the job done. I know some people who use iCloud Drive from Mac to iOS so I would think that NextCloud would work...

We have updated!

v0.19.6 has the changelog that matters - https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-11-08_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.6

v0.19.7 fixes three regressions found in v0.19.6 - https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-11-15_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.7

No real new user-facing features, but a lot of optimization on the server-side to keep things snappy. Enjoy! Please reach out if you notice anything wonky!

We're around with no plans to shut down!

 

Ouch.

 

Ouch.

Great list. Wanted to pop in and throw Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner out there.

Haha I was just about to post an update as well. Great minds are timed correctly it seems!

We upgraded from v0.19.3 to v0.19.5. The release notes for v0.19.4 have all the goodies, v0.19.5 was more of a hotfix update. I will post links below to those. We also upgraded to postgres v16 which should quell some of the memory leaks we have been having causing unresponsiveness and slow performance (we'll see I'm still unsure if this will pan out.)

Thank you for the patience everyone!
